He did nothing for Southeast.

You've decided to vote for Jonathan

So, vote for your candidate and stop complaining.

Buhari is not perfect, he made some mistakes in the past.

How Buhari Skewed PTF Projects in Favor of His Northern Zone- By Afenifere

The Abacha regime created a parallel government through the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) headed by Major General Muhammed Buhari. Nothing else typifies the marginalization of the Yoruba than the lopsidedness of the projects carried out by the PTF. Figures from PTF Situation Reports (Vol. 2 Dec. 98) show that the PTF carried on as if there was no South West.

Of all the roads rehabilitated by the PTF, only 1984.5 kilometres of roads representing 10.84 per cent were carried out in the South West; from where the bulk of the PTF revenue came since the zone consumes over 60 per cent of refined petroleum products. All the Southern States had 4,440.43 kms or 24 per cent of road rehabilitation as against 13,870.47 kms or 76 per cent in the Northern States zone three comprising the North-West States of Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara had a lion share of 5020 kms or 27.42 per cent because the Fund’s Chairman, Buhari and the military dictator Sani Abacha were from there; zone four comprising the North-East States of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe picked 23.48 per cent. This is the zone where Salihijo Ahmed, the late Chief Executive of Afri-Project Consortium APC, the sole consultants that supervised all PTF projects came from.

Figures in other sectors were more scandalous. For instance, under the National Health and Educational Rehabilitation Programme (NHERP), the South West had zero allocation in the tertiary programme, while the North picked 100 per cent. In the vocational programme, the South West had zero while the North had 97 per cent. In the primary area, the South-West had zero against 88 per cent for the North and in the secondary area, it was zero for the South-West and 86 per cent for the North.

The health sector is similar. For the Teaching Hospitals, the South-West had zero while the North had 62 per cent. For the Specialist Hospitals, it was zero for the South-West and 71 per cent for the North; in General/State Hospitals the Yoruba had nothing while the North had 56 per cent for health clinics, it was zero for the South-West against the North’s 100 per cent.

Under the food supply summary, the Southwest had 7.26 per cent compared with 83 per cent for the North, Buhari’s zone having 60.54 per cent to itself.


This is why I think that OP and his crew are devilish. Maybe TAN means saTAN after all.

Let me help you make this list of PTF interventions, all according to your writeup:

1. Road Rehabilitation Program - 18,310 Kms of road covered
2. National Health and Educational Rehabilitation Program - Universities, Unity Schools and FMCs covered
3. Vocational Program
4. The Healthcare Program (Teaching Hospitals, Specialist Hospitals and General Hospitals)
5. Food supply Program

Now, tell me how many kilometers of road have been rehabilitated in GEJ's tenure of massive oil windfall. By the way, you were wrong that SE/SW got zero in the NHERP, Vocational Program etc. Either you've never lived in the SE/SW or you're out-rightly being deceptive. I lived in the SE and SW during the PTF era. While you're at it, tell me about GEJ's programs in rehabilitating our universities or hospitals for that matter.

Mind you, oil sold for about $22/bbl adjusted for inflation in PTF's time and has traded around $100/bbl during GEJ's time. Talk about completing squandering and destroying the future of a nation of 170m.

During Buhari's time as head-of-state (Dec. 1983 - Aug. 1985), total accrual from sales of crude was $69.95B adjusted to 2014 dollars. During Abacha + Abdusalami's times, the country recorded a total of $88.6B in crude sales in 2014 dollars. PTF under Abacha + Abdusalami got on average the equivalent of 15% of the national budget. In GEJ's time, the country has recorded $484.2B so far in crude sales in 2014 dollars.

$69.95B + 15%*$88.6B = $83,240,000,000. This is all the country has earned directly under Buhari ($69.95B as president, $13.29B as PTF chair)
$484,200,000,000 - This is what the country has earned under Jonathan.

I think OP and all Jonathanians are wicked and devilish. This man has squandered so much resources and taken corruption to another height. We have never seen oil price this high in a stretch of time, yet we have never been this confused about the state of our Excess Crude Account (ECA), Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) and Foreign Reserves. I challenge OP to list what Jonathan has done for the SE and SW, and let's compare that to how much the country earned in Jonathan's time.

I lived in SE and SW Nigeria during the PTF time and I can attest to the improvement in the quality of healthcare and education that was as a direct intervention of PTF even though OIL was at a RECORD LOW throughout the PTF era. During PTF days, oil averaged $22/bbl (in 2014 dollars). In Jonathan's time, we have averaged nearly $100/bbl (in 2014 Dollars).

Jonathan is a failure and a big scam. OP and his crew know that Nigerians are too lazy to dig deep, run some numbers and unravel the truth behind Jonathan and the rot in his time. God, Nigeria and posterity have given Jonathan so much, in terms of opportunities, record oil price, record production volumes etc. Yet, the clueless one had squandered all of these in a combined chain of outright 'ordinary stealing' and mismanagement.

PTF under Buhari did way better for Nigeria than GEJ has done - period.

Demographic Manipulation: The Northern wielders of power have skewed all demographic indicators to marginalise the Yoruba and confer undue advantage on the North. For instance, while the old Kano and Lagos used to have the same number of divisions, various demographic manipulations over the years have brought about absurd disparities between the two states. While the old Lagos remains a state with 20 local governments, the old Kano has become two states-Kano and Jigawa with 77 local governments. These are some of the indices used for revenue sharing.

Simply vote Jonathan and stop opening threads for Buhari.

Buhari made some mistakes in the past and we all know it.

Let the best candidate emerge. I'm even confused on whom to vote for out of the two of them.

The worst that may happen is post-election violence. It's only a fool that would be slaughtered in the North next year.

With the 2015 elections drawing nearer, people have been trying to blackmail the south east into voting their preferred candidate by claiming that the incubent President did nothing for the region.
The issue of what he did or didn't do has been dealt with severally, so no point going into that now.
The questions that have not been asked are:
What did Buhari do for the South east as Head of state for 2 years?
What projects did Buhari site in the South east as PTF chairman for 6 years?

The first thing he did was to lock up alex ekwueme after forcfully taking over from a democratic govt while shagari was at a guest house bleeping girls @ a guest house not even talking abt his roles in the 60s progroms 2day pple re touting him as a saint

This is the problem with our current crop of youths - super lazy and slow bunch. I will tell you my source:

1. The average monthly production of crude oil from Nigeria is public data (you can source that from countless places including CBN's website, EIA's website, etc).
2. The average daily cost of crude oil from 1940 till date is equally public data.

Now, go to excel, and run some numbers. Do something useful, source out data and run some numbers - use your brain!!!

Again, you are pretty silly calling yourself super lazy and slow. Provide your sources/links and get the disgrace you need here today. You cannot misinterpret data and hope it will not catch up you. That lie and pretentiousness, does not work here any more.

Do you know that the budget of Lagos state Nigeria in 2014 (N489.69billion) is more than Nigeria's federal budget in 1997 (N243 billion) and 1998 (N240.5 billion) combined? Why is that when people talk about revenue ( oil sales) in various governments, they find it convenient not to talk about the expenditure?

This is why most of you are very ignorant. so Buhari and not GEJ have won the SE according to you. As an igbo man, I don't need to live in the SE to know Buhari will never get upto 0.5% votes in the zone. Better tell us how Buhari is better than GEJ to us igbos or keep shut.

We all agree Jonathan failed the SE.
Jonathan failed the people who voted for him in SW.
Jonathan failed and destroyed those who voted for him in the NW,NE and NC.
